An Iranian Proxy Declares War on Global Shipping
The Houthis try to block the route to the Suez Canal.
On May 22, 1967, Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran—which connect the Gulf of Aqaba and the Israeli port of Eilat to the Red Sea. This move, together with the repositioning of Egyptian forces to attack Israel, precipitated the Six-Day War. In the past several days, Houthi rebels in Yemen have attempted something far more consequential: closing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and thus blockading the entire Red Sea, cutting off not just Eilat but also the Suez Canal.
